Mortgages and shares

I have some shares which could be used to underpin a mortgage.

If I sell them I would incur 28% CGT, is there anyway I can raise a mortgage against them?

Thanks in advance

    Share prices move up and down. So there's no guarantee as to future value. Cash in enough every tax year to stay below the CGT threshold.

    appreciate that

    AND

    it won't get me a mortgage now

    I would be very happy to cash in enough each year to stay below the limit and use it to pay off a mortgage

    If I could find a lender who would work that way
